The New Pornographers are a Canadian indie rock group formed in 1997 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Their sound is influenced by that of such power pop bands as The Cars and Cheap Trick, but they use much more sophisticated rhythms and chord changes. Although it was widely reported that the New Pornographers got their name from a pamphlet put out by televangelist Jimmy Swaggart condemning rock ‘n’ roll as “the new pornography,” Carl Newman

I don't know about the "who's gonna star the sunshine" bridge. On
the album, all I can hear after the first A chord, are bass notes. Live,
it looks like they're playing some kind of chords I can't pick out,
but I've tried at the bottom. I think playing power chords with the
bass roots works. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
I think this is the voicing for the intro
A=X07650, E=022100
Intro
A E A E A E A---
E
Jackie, you yourself said it best when you said:
A
"There's been a break in the continuum.
C#m
The United States used to be lots of fun.
A E A E
Back when the man and the myth of the sands and the cliffs
A A-F-E
composed a symphony to good works and better business
A A-F-E A A-F-G
E
Jackie, you yourself said it best when you said"
A
"One day we'll look upon a washed-up Atlantic;
C#m
get our kicks on an ocean of antics."
A E A E A
And, "making history has never been so easy..."
A B
So visualize success but don't believe your eyes.
G#m C#m F#m Am
There's a world of wisdom and pain to despise
A E A E
and when people get paid just to set you straight it means...
A E A
A* B*
Are you gonna start the sunshine?
D* C#* (Repeat)
are you gonna start the sunshine
A B
Visualize success!
A B
Visualize success!
A B
Visualize success, but don't believe your eyes!
G#m C#m F#m Am
What's a version of the world without the will to despise it?
A E A E
And when people get paid just to set you straight it means...
A E A E
Jackie! Hey, hey, hey, hey! Jackie! Hey, hey, hey, hey!
A E A E
Jackie! Hey, hey, hey, hey! Jackie! Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Notes for "who's gonna start the sunshine"
I tried to make up chords out of the harmonies, but I'm not
getting it and I'm tired. Why hasn't someone already done this for me?
Sometimes you want to just play a song and there's no tab out there...
Maybe they're playing this live? I can hear the high b.
Aadd9=XX7657 B=XX4447 D6=XX7777 C#=XX666X
or just play power chords.
